Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. – Matthew 28:18
Have you ever felt like everything was falling apart? The disciples did too. They watched Jesus die, their hope shattered, their courage gone. But what seemed like the end became the greatest beginning.
The Power of the Resurrection
Just days after His death, Jesus rose from the grave, and everything changed. The power of sin and death was broken. Guilt, shame, and fear lost their grip. Evil and temptation no longer held control. In that moment when Jesus cried, “It is finished,” heaven’s victory echoed across all creation. God’s love reclaimed the world, and His kingdom reign began in power and truth.
The Mystery and the Majesty
We may never fully understand how God accomplished this miracle. The resurrection is both mystery and majesty, wrapped in divine love. Yet we can know this for sure: Jesus saved us. His sacrifice washed away every sin, once and for all. Through Him, we are made new and restored to God’s presence.
Living Under His Authority
Every corner of the universe belongs to Jesus. Though sin, fear, and temptation still linger, they have been defeated. They no longer rule us. Christ’s authority covers all creation—He is in charge, now and forever. When we live under His rule, we live in freedom. We live in victory.
